Question

In a right angled triangle, hypotenuse is the longest side. State True/false.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

According to Pythagoras theorem, $h^2=a^2+b^2$
(h=hypotenuse, a and b are the perpendicular sides)
$⟹h^2>a^2⟹h>a$
also
$⟹h^2>b^2⟹h>b$

So, hypotenuse is the longest side.
